The physician's order reads vancomycin (Vancocin) 500 mg in 250
mL of 5% dextrose in water and administer over 2 hours. The drop
factor is 10 drops/mL. A nurse sets the flow rate at how many drops
per minute? (Round answer to the nearest whole number. Do not put a
label after the nearest whole number -- 300 "drops per minute")
A medication order calls for the following premixed IV fluid to
be infused at 125 mL/hr.
The maximum recommended rate of infusion for KCl through a
peripheral line is 10mEq/hr. To check that this infusion which is
running at a rate of 125 mL/hr is below the maximum recommended
rate, calculate the infusion rate of KCl in mEq/hr. Please round
the final answer to two decimal places, except no
trailing zeros.
At 1300 you begin an IV infusion at 67.5 ml/hr; the infusion is
stopped at 1420 so the patient can leave the unit and go to a
procedure. The patient returns at 1450 and you restart the infusion
at 1510. The infusion runs for another 98 minutes. The
concentration of medication in the bag is 0.85/50ml. How many mcg
have already been infused? Round to a whole number.

Calculate the ml/hr infusion rates , round answers to the nearest
tenth ml, mcg or mg; A provider orders isoproterenol 5 mcg/min IV :
The IV bag contains 1mg isoproterenol in 200 ml D5W
Calculate the ml/hr infusion rates , round to the nearest tenth ml,
mg, or mcg. A provider orders nitroprusside 150 mcg/min IV, the IV
bag contains 50mg in 250 ml D5W
You are making an IV infusion that is to have a final
concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. You are making 1000 mL of the total
solution and the vial of medication is a concentration of 25 mg/mL.
How many mL of the medication should you place into the IV
fluid?
